The Blind Owls, a Corpus Christi British revolution-inspired band, will be hosting a 1960's-themed dance party at the House of Rock Saturday.

The band, which has been together for about five years, is formed by Corpus Christi natives, Dylan Romel, 24; Jesse De Los Santos, 24; Carlos Garcia, 27 and Joshua De Leon, 23.

Bassist Carlos Garcia said the band has been heavily influenced by sixties era band The Beatles and TV show's The Ed Sullivan Show and Groovy Beat Club.

But they're goal for this weekend is to bring the groovy decade back for one night in The Sparkling City by the Sea.

"We believe Corpus (Christi) hasn't had an event like this in a long time so we figured we'd bring it here and share the love, dancing and fun with everyone," Garcia said.

The band member said The House of Rock will transform into a sixties era dance club and will feature hits from the decade on vinyl, original songs from The Blind Owls, a best dressed contest, a raffle and more.

Garcia said most of the proceeds from the event will be donated to The Foster Angels of South Texas.

"People should come out because we believe supporting local artists and musicians in Corpus Christi is important," he said. It's going to be a fun and unique event that we hope is successful enough to be an annual event."

The event will kick-off at 8 p.m. Saturday at House of Rock. Tickets are $5.
